Honorable City Council,
Greetings! I hope this email finds you well. My name is Grantland Tracy. I recently graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts
from Cal Poly in June 2021. I am writing today in support of San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre and strongly urge the City
Council to approve the request for their grant.
During my senior year, I had the great pleasure of working at SLO Rep in educational department. I began working there
in fall 2020 as a class aid. I became a teaching artist in February of 2021, and then was the Assistant Educational Director
from April 2021 through September 2021 before I moved out to New York City.
Outside of my education at Cal Poly, SLO Rep provided real a world learning experience and an incredibly supportive and
encouraging environment. The skills I learned about arts administration are helping me at my current job in the
Development Department at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York City. Being able to participate and witness a
regional theatre develop their season was experience that will guide me long into my career. My biggest hope for SLO
Rep is that they will be able to grow and expand their reach in the Central Coast, and give students and fellow theatre
practitioners the same amazing experience I had.
If you have any questions about my time at SLO Rep, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thanks!
Grantland Tracy
